Answer 11

They used to hurt me a lot but now I've evolved........

" Heavy metal can hurt my ear but words will never hurt me."

Answer 12

What do you THINK? Yes.

Answer 13

Words can be powerful, but it depends on who is saying them. Some of the most powerful words have lost there meaning because people throw them around like they're nothing. Love is a good example of this, people use it on a regular basis to define feeling's that are not of love, so saying the word when you actually feel it won't do it justice anymore.

Answer 14

It depends what words. And on the situation. If you tell somebody you love them when they're studying for their exams or they're really angry at you then I don't think it will mean much. But if you're both relaxed and not distracted and in the mood "i love you" will mean more.

Answer 15

I believe that actions speak louder then words.

Answer 16

words are the most powerful wepon we have against each other so yes they are still powerful because you can downgrate someone so much they kill themselves trying to become what is perfect when all they needed was to be themselves ( tell me if you like that answer

Answer 17

absolutely

Answer 18

Thinking about it, the answer is more obvious then it seems, but not as easy to explain. With things going on words in many ways mean nothing. If somebody does a crime like killing some one. Telling them not to do it and even trying as hard as you can to enforce it in their brains can do absolutely nothing. Words are important, definitely, but they aren't always powerful. Yes, it's close to impossible to imagine a world without words but think about it, imagine a world with no actions either. Words cause frustration, happiness and every other emotion. It also causes action. So I like to think about it like this; No words=no actions. No actions=no words

Answer 19

Depends. If you are referring to can they hurt someone..yes. Words can be as hard as a fist....

Answer 20

Now the game is about WORDS, so they are powerfull.

Answer 21

sure!

Answer 22

Always.................. Wow I sound cheesey!

Answer 23

What do you mean still? It is appearant in our society that the power of a word can crush or lift spirits. Don Imus pissed off all these people by calling a stupid basket ball team nappy headed hoes.. Was it true? Who cares? Jesse jacksons crazy black a$$ threatend to cut Obama's nuts off! That was pretty....wait, they havent made a big deal about it. Not even as much of a big deal as opposed to the attention Imus got..

Must be certain people get away with things easier.

If words arent powerful then the word N*gger shouldnt bother anyone here one bit. Wrong... (sorry for using the N word just wanted to make a point)
